Cold Dessert Chocolate Bavarois Cold Dessert Chocolate Bavarois
I often make chocolate bavarois, but I thought topping with chocolate syrup and cornflakes would be a fun and enjoyable texture, so I created this recipe! Since I didn't want to the chocolate syrup to be heavy, I put cream bavarois between the two chocolate layers. It looks nice and cool even from the appearance.Please remove from the bowl during Step 3 when the mixture starts to become thick! Please be careful not to thicken it too much.

Avocado Chocolate Dessert Soup Avocado Chocolate Dessert Soup
If I can still remember, I had posted this before. It was in a typical vegan smoothie form and nothing like this. You can totally replace the condensed milk and Iris cream with vegan-friendly options if you fancy that route. It is entirely up to your own convenience and preference. A recipe is just a guideline for you to understand, ultimately, you will have to taste and adjust to your own palate.As you already knew the story behind this recipe. I was in Bandung, Indonesia, and I was being served with this awesome smoothie. It has avocado, coffee and chocolate. Who would've thought that such a combination works? It is perfect. My then ex-gf, told me what she can do it better as she further explained to me that the eatery is not using real avocado, but rather fake flavorings and colorings. Yes, her version tastes way better. To this day, I never forget the taste; the avocado rush on the palate, the strong aromatic coffee aftertaste, almost mocha-like (probably due to the chocolate), lingers at the back of your mouth for quite a while.Instead of making another smoothie, I decided to create this dessert soup. I added coconut oil to enhance the flavors of the chocolate. The cold avocado coffee soup top with a warm coconut dark chocolate just give your tastebuds an oomph. To make things even further, I garnish with some coffee granules. The taste is almost the same as I 1st sipped into the wonderful smoothie my ex-gf used to make. I really hope you will give this recipe a try Daniel Lim -
